In attempting to contact Karen "Itchy" Ramone, recently, I began wondering how much you all on the forum know about her. I mean, I know that she is married (was married?) to producer Phil Ramone, and that she befriended our own Karen Carpenter when KC went to New York to begin work on her solo project. In fact, Itchy invited Karen to her home, after a few months into the solo project, and they became very good, close friends as KC resided there for the duration of the recording sessions.
I know that Itchy has made a solo album, but don't remember the name of it. Someone long ago sent me a bootleg cassette taped copy of it. It's interesting. I also know that she does backing vocals at times - she did backing vocals on a Peter, Paul and Mary album called LifeLines. She wrote to me once, and sent me Karen's Solo CD, just before it was released to the public - due to a letter I'd written her some 2 years prior. I found it incredible, actually, that she remembered what I had to say to her about KC's solo CD for that long, and when it was about to be released, remembered me and sent it to me. That was sort of unbelievable.
Aside from that, I know very little about this woman, and since she was such a good friend of Karen Carpenter, I would, personally, like to know more about her. I did a "google" search for her, and came up with very little information. Almost everything I did find was connected in one way or another to Karen Carpenter. Another bit of interesting information, I thought.
So, I would be interested to know what you all might know about Itchy Ramone. ?? Looking forward to your insights.
Thanks, everyone.
